Facial hair and its characteristics

Facial hair is a secondary sex characteristic in human males. Normally almost all men develop facial hair in the later years of puberty, i.e when they are between 15-18 years old although some men don't finish developing a fully adult beard until their early 20s or later. many women also have some facial hair, especially after menopause, though typically much less than men.

Facial hair in men

Male pogonotrophy i.e, beardedness, is often culturally associated with wisdom and virility. Many men style their facial hair into moustaches,beards, goatees or sideburns. some men completely shave their facial hair. a man's facial hair, especially short hairs that were missed in shaving, is often referred to as whiskers.

Facial hair in women

Women typically have little hair on their faces, apart from eyebrows and the vellus hair that covers most of their bodies. However, in some cases women have noticeable facial hair growth. Excessive hairiness,especially on the face is known as hirsutism, and is usually an indication of abnormal hormonal variation. In contemporary western culture, almost all women shave, tweeze or otherwise depilate facial hair which does appear, as there is considerable social stigma associated with facial hair in women.
